[66:0] In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
|
| 1. |
[66:1] O you prophet, why do you prohibit what GOD has made lawful for you,
just to please your wives? GOD is Forgiver,
Merciful.
*66:1 Mohammedans around the world believe that Muhammad was infallible.
This verse teaches us that he was indeed a fallible human being (18:110,
33:37, 40:66, 80:1). |
| 2. |
[66:2] GOD has decreed for you the laws dealing with your oaths. GOD is your
Lord, and He is the Omniscient, Most Wise. |
| 3. |
[66:3] The prophet had trusted some of his wives with a certain statement,
then one of them spread it, and GOD let him know about it. He then informed
his wife of part of the issue, and disregarded part. She asked him, "Who
informed you of this?" He said, "I was informed by the Omniscient, Most
Cognizant." |
| 4. |
[66:4] If the two of you repent to GOD, then your hearts have listened. But
if you band together against him, then GOD is his ally, and so is Gabriel
and the righteous believers. Also, the angels are his helpers. |
| 5. |
[66:5] If he divorces you, his Lord will substitute other wives in your place
who are better than you; submitters (Muslims), believers (Mu'mins), obedient,
repentant, worshipers, pious, either previously married, or virgins. |
| 6. |
[66:6] O you who believe, protect yourselves and your families from the Hellfire
whose fuel is people and rocks. Guarding it are stern and powerful angels
who never disobey GOD; they do whatever they are commanded to do. |
| 7. |
[66:7] O you who disbelieved, do not apologize today. You are being requited
only for what you did. |
| 8. |
[66:8] O you who believe, you shall repent to GOD a firm repentance. Your
Lord will then remit your sins and admit you into gardens with flowing streams.
On that day, GOD will not disappoint the prophet and those who believed with
him. Their light will radiate in front of them and to their right. They will
say, "Our Lord, perfect our light for us, and forgive us; You are Omnipotent." |
| 9. |
[66:9] O prophet, struggle against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and
be stern with them. Their abode is Gehenna, and a miserable destiny. |
| 10. |
[66:10] GOD cites as examples of those who disbelieved the wife of Noah and
the wife of Lot. They were married to two of our righteous servants, but
they betrayed them and, consequently, they could not help them at all against
GOD. The two of them were told, "Enter the Hell-fire with those who deserved
it." |
| 11. |
[66:11] And GOD cites as an example of those who believed the wife of Pharaoh.
She said, "My Lord, build a home for me at You in Paradise, and save me from
Pharaoh and his works; save me from the transgressing people." |
| 12. |
[66:12] Also Mary, the Amramite. She maintained her chastity, then we blew
into her from our spirit. She believed in the words of her Lord and His
scriptures; she was obedient. |
